May 30,2024I got a voucher for GWS for a recent BIG birthday and thought it would be a great opportunity to have a family photo shoot. We were made to feel very welcome and at ease, and Grahame and Allison were particularly patient with my three year old granddaughter who needed a bit of time to perfect her smile! We are so pleased with the photos, which are now taking pride of place at home and haven’t stopped talking about our shoot to friends.

Aug 23,2023Highly Recommend!! Kids had an amazing time at their photoshoot 😊 Graham & Allison couldn’t have been nicer, so patient and friendly! My son said afterwards Graham should be a kids comedian, so he was a hit! Allison kept my 2 year old amused which is not an easy job at all. We went back to see the pictures and same again lovely relaxed atmosphere while we picked our favourite ones. Everything was then ready within 7 days to collect. Cannot fault the whole experience at all! We will definitely be back again.

Mar 02,2023Amazing photoshoot at GWS Photography! Extremely informative about the whole process, from booking to receiving the end product. Leanne was fantastic with a very unsure one year old who took a while to warm up! She included his big brother too and made the session a really fun experience. The follow up viewing of the photographs was relaxed and enjoyable and the prints that we chose are amazing. Extremely professional, family friendly company run by lovely people who pay attention to detail and think of everything.

May 04,2022Fantastic photo shoot and photo viewing!! So friendly and made the kids feel so comfortable straight away and that was a very shy 3 year old. Love our photos so much. It’s all the little extras that they do that make the full experience amazing

Apr 07,2022Wow wow wow!!! I booked the Mummy and me shoot for me and my baby girl. On the day we were welcomed by the lovely Leanne who was so friendly. My little girl warmed to her instantly and she got some absolutely beautiful photos of my little family. I can’t thank her enough! And Grahame and Allison were fab at the photo viewing, our order was quick and is just absolutely stunning. I know we’ll be looking at our photos on a regular basis for many years to come. Thanks guys so so much. Connor, Morwenna and a Merryn xxx

Apr 07,2022Grahame and Alison were amazing throughout the photoshoot, capturing fantastic photos of a preteen who absolutely did not want to be there while simultaneously indulging their little brother and his multiple costume changes. The box of goodies on collection of our prints was a lovely touch. Highly recommend!

Jan 18,2022We booked a family session as had a new little addition to the family and wanted to capture the moments. Grahame and Alison were fab from the moment we booked right up to collecting our prints. Grahame has a great sense of humour and kept our 11year old entertained possibly even got a smile out him! Look forward to returning in the future for more lovely family pictures Thanks again guys Zoe & Robert

Oct 01,2021Grahame and Allison are amazing, not only as photographers but in making people and animals at ease and the whole photo shoot a fun experience. I’ve had 2 photo shoots and the framed pictures and my boxed photos are superb quality. Not only would I go back in the future but would highly recommend them.

Sep 25,2021We recently had a family photo shoot at GWS photography. The photo shoot was fantastic, Grahame and Allison made us feel at ease and were great with our 7 month old daughter, getting plenty of smiles from her for our photos. The progress was easy from start to finish. The photos from our shoot are amazing, it was so difficult choosing between them for our prints!

Sep 05,2021Grahame photographed our wedding recently. He was very friendly and captured our day brilliantly. The pre wedding shoot put our nerves at ease. The final photos were beautiful and the showing in the studio with our families allowed for us to relive the day.

Aug 09,2021Grahame was incredible for us leading up to our wedding and on the big day. The test shoot we did with Grahame was lots of fun and helped us feel really easy going ahead with having him there on our big day. He felt like a friend more than anything and we absolutely love the moments and photos that he captured.
